Abstract This paper presents the findings of a numerical study conducted to examine influence different structural parameters on response complete steel-free, glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) dowel connector based, GFRP-concrete composite beam. The three-dimensional nonlinear analysis was carried out using commercial software package Abaqus/CAE , and damage evolution in concrete defined damaged plasticity (CDP) material model. methodology validated by comparing results against those an experimental study. showed that beam ultimately fails either due shearing web or rupture connected GFRP flange around connection points; its load-carrying capacity stiffness have proportional relationship with compressive strength concrete, longitudinal elastic modulus profile, connectors, width slab, depth section, wall thickness profile; inverse span length angle inclination connectors. vertical deformations are significantly affected shear relatively better is obtained closed section optimum diameter spacing value exists at which load carrying maximum; provision cutouts deteriorates overall behavior. critical will assist designers/researchers developing efficient design configuration for such structures near future.
